At first I thought this was one single question, but now, I am dumbfounded. Well, so to start with I'd say that market segmentation is nothing but dividing a large group of people in smaller groups based on stuffs like kinship, commonalities or similarities. This will allow your company to concentrate your marketing energy on the specific needs of that smaller group and hence can have some competitor advantage there. There are different types of segmentation based on location, population, behavior etc, i.e different subsets are derived out of the various differentiations available. Market segmentation is a costly procedure and has to be updated from time to time, having said that the findings are short lived as well, my answer to some of your other questions would depend on the product/service as well the market you would intend the answers for. Thankyou.
